About Dakota

About Dakota:

Dakota Dean is a spray paint and stencil artist from Seattle Washington.  Using only spray paint and a few satirical news articles, Dakota Dean’s vibrant graffiti backgrounds incorporate bold and edgy stencil overlays, using iconic cultural personalities and images to challenge societal norms with trademark Cody sarcasm. His art questions our addictions: to pop-culture, pharmaceuticals, sex, love, and money; and challenges our desires to conform, and to be unique.

His ceaseless pursuit of self-acceptance and understanding, and his compassion for others suffering with mood disorders often expresses itself in his works.
